1 Claim.

This invention relates to means for heating liquid used for shampooing purposes and the like, the general object of the invention being to provide a container having electric means therein for heating solution placed therein with means for indicating the level of liquid in the container and also means for indicating the temperature thereof.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

5 In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:

Figure 1 is an elevation of the invention.

20 Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view there- Inthesedrawingsthenumeral l indicates a container having a part 2 connected to its bottom in which is threaded a rod 3, said rod being adapted to be removably fitted in a vertical sleeve 4 formed on the bracket 5 which has a plate 6 connected therewith for attachment to a wall or the like. Thus the container I is removably supported by the bracket and by simply lifting the container upwardly the rod 3 will be released from the sleeve 4 and then the container can be carried to a point for refilling, cleaning or other purposes.

The top of the container is formed with an upstanding rim 1 which surrounds an opening in the top of the container by which it can be refilled and a lid 8 is adapted to be seated on the rim 1 and said lid has a depending flange 9 which fits in the space formed by the rim 1. A tubular member H) has its upper end open and threaded 40 in an opening in the lid 8, the lower end of the member being closed and the socket ll of an electric bulb I2 is threaded in the upper end of the member 10 with the bulb 12 located in said member Ill. Thus when liquid is placed in the 45 container and the current to the bulb turned on the heat generated by the bulb will heat the member In and this heat will be transmitted to the liquid in the container.

A thermometer I2 is carried by an elbow I3 50 which is in communication with the container l and connected therewith as shown at 14 so that the liquid will contact the bulb 15 of the thermometer which is located in the outer part of the elbow.

A sight gauge glass I6 is connected to upper 5 and lower parts of the container by the elbows l! as shown. An outlet nipple I8 is connected to the lower end of the container and containsa valve [9 and a hose is connected with the valve for receiving the liquid when the valve is open 1 and said hose is connected to a spraying head 21.

Thus it will be seen that the container can be readily removed from the bracket for filling purposes and the like, the container being filled with liquid by removing the cap 8 which also removes 15 the member I0 and the bulb l2. Then the parts are replaced and the device placed on the bracket. Then the current is turned on to heat the liquid in the container and when the liquid has been heated to the desired temperature, as indicated 20 by the thermometer 12, the current is turned 01f. Then by opening the valve IS the shampoo solution can be applied to the head of a person by means of the spray head 21.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes .fall within the scope of the appended claim.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

A device of the class described comprising a bracket for attachment to a wall, a container for liquids secured at its bottom to said bracket to be supported thereby in upright position and having a central filler opening in the top thereof surrounded by an upstanding flange, a lid having a top adapted to seat on said flange, and a depending skirt fitting into the flange, a tube threaded at its upper end into said top to depend into the container and to be removed with said top, an electric light socket threaded into the upper end of the tube to extend outwardly therefrom above said top, and a light bulb depending from the socket into the tube.
